Notably, there are claims that {{Trn|IVGF NorthWest Regionals}} had 151 entrants, which would have made it the largest Smash tournament until {{Trn|MELEE-FC3}}, but due to the lack of definitive sources to verify that number, it is excluded from this list. {{Trn|Tournament Go 4}} and {{Trn|Tournament Go 5}} could have each also possibly held the record for largest Smash tournament in their time with their purported entrant count of up to around 90, but they remain similarly excluded from this list for their exact attendance being unverifiable.

Note that while NEW GAME PLUS started on December 7th, ''Ultimate'' singles started on December 8th. This is also by far the fastest a Smash game has had a tournament with 100 entrants or more post-release, only a day after its launch on December 7th, 2018. Although [[EVO 2015]] and [[EVO 2016]] broke entrant records simultaneously in different games, this is the first time a record has been held on the same day within one game.

It has also held the record for the largest Smash tournament in the series overall for the longest time. It was the largest tournament before DLC fighters finished releasing.
